You can easily do this using PHP/MapScript or you can use the much simpler
MapServer CGI with some creative Javascript/PHP or ASP or whatever. If you
decide to go for it get MapServer up and running with some of your data and
we can help you with the rest.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Is this the right program for me?
I'm still trying to determine if MapServer is the proper program for me to
use... What I'm trying to do is this :
I have a map of the world displayed on a website. I click on an area and
display a zoomed in map of that area - Say I click on North America, I now
see a map of North America on the screen... I proceed to click on the area I
want, getting zoomed in maps of the areas. I finally click on San Francisco,
California and now I want to download information files on San Francisco
such as history of the city, city flag, city maps, yearly weather
information, official bird, hotel information etc... The information I get
for the user to download will be based on the Lat Long information I get
from clicking on my map. All file information is stored in a database such
as MySql or Sql.
Can I do this using MapServer and PHP or is there a better program to use
such as Grass or MapInfo for my purposes?
Thanks very much for your answers..
